A short editorial note from the July 1904 Hawaiian Forester and Agriculturist introducing the second in a series of articles by Leopold Blackman on developing a fibre industry in Hawaii. It discusses abaca (Manila hemp, Musa textilis), its strength as a cordage fibre, its displacement of true hemp, and its earlier introduction to the Islands. The editor urges investigation of Hawaiian banana fibre and other native plants, and suggests an Hawaiian Agricultural College might undertake such work.
